Re: R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
You put "i know the connection from my modem and my main router is good".
Whats your modem?
Whats your main router?
If you're using 3x routers (main, r7000, r8000), do you have the 2nd and 3rd in access point mode?
Or how are you running them?

1. IF you're seeing problems across different FW platforms, the problem maybe with your ISP hardware and ISP signal services. Something you want to check out with the ISP and Pingplotter.com app.
2. For any DD-WRT issues you'll need to post over in there forums since this forum supports NG stock FW.
3. The R7000 and R8000 are capable of operating at high speeds on stock FW:

Re: R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
Devices: R7000 (Router), R8000 (AP), R7000 (AP)
Firmware: R7000 Router (Advanced Tomato), R8000 AP (Stock), R7000 AP (Stock). All have the latest updates.
Access points are wired with gigabit connections. All tests are done on Ethernet or 5G connections. Ethernet appears to have no issues. I have tried a whole different router on stock firmware to see if advanced tomato was the issue and it isn’t.

Re: R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
what modem/gateway do you have the R7000 connected to?
the R7000 and the R8000 have pretty much the same cpu/ram as each other.
have you tried seeing if its a device specific issue? what I mean is swap the r8000 as the primary router and the 2x r7000's as access points?
when the r8000 is acting as primary do a factory reset. During the install make sure to leave qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled. also make sure the ipv6 is enabled.
the other thing I'd try is using a different DNS provider than stock (for both ipv4 and 6).
Something else to keep in mind is the r7000 was released in 2013 and the r8000 in 2014.
You're talking about a 8 and 9 years old equipment. It was released when they needed work arounds (CTF) to hit those gigabit speeds.

Re: R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
A couple things.
1. modem does matter a little bit. Some devices don't tolerate double nats as well. its why we keep asking.
2. I've seen the r7000/r8000's ctf not get re-enabled when toggling qos back off when its been on. Its why if there's a slow down on those devices, we always recommend a factory reset. That clears out the setting and re-enables ctf.
3. anything doing packet inspection on the r7000/r8000 can introduce issues like dropped packets/jitter because suddenly the routers cpu has to inspect the information. And they're not recommended at speeds over 200mbps for that reason. If you've got 400mbps speeds, its to much on the cpu and its why the speeds slow down. Plus because the cpu is maxed out, you're going to get more errors with a maxed out cpu.
4. yes, routers did/do get advertised with faster speeds and the numbers from wifi/powerline are over rated. Its an industry wide issue. The problem is that the r7000 was so successful and performed so well, that its still sold almost a decade after release. I find it a bit ridiculous. But for many, it works and is fine. For an more advanced or user who has more needs/speeds, its not what I'd recommend.
5. if I was you? I'd probably check into upgrading to either a mesh system (not necessarily netgear) or even check into a router only device like the edgerouterx or even building a cheap pfsense box. Much better performance and then you could use the r7000's/r8000

Re: R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
3rd party is doing it without loss because they can restrict speeds so its not stressing the cpu and in some cases even overclock the cpu. Stock firmware doesn't allow that.
Got an old computer sitting around you could try pfsense on?

Re: R7000 and R8000 Drops, Loss, Jitter, and all of the above.
the devices in access point mode shouldn't need a reset as access point mode disables any packet/traffic management/inspection.
so if the ddwrt router performs at full speed, everything else should work fine. Its why a pfsense box or edge routerx would be a decent bet for you as then all the routers could be in access point mode

And this time you're running ddwrt.
so it could be the router or it could be the modem/line.
